ASSINIBOIA — She’s already made a sweeping success in a Leroy and Leroy Saskatchewan promotional video about the upcoming Canadian Mixed Curling Championships. Morgan Ferraton has been the new Curling Club manager in Assiniboia for a few months now.
“I have had many roles over the years as I love to have a variety of jobs at one time. I previously worked at and then managed the Thomson Lake Golf Course for six years and hopefully will for years to come. I also instruct advanced lifesaving courses and advanced swimming lessons year-round,” says the curling club’s new manager.
It was a quick start for Ferraton as 2025 is a busy year, including both the 90th anniversary celebrations and the first-ever Canadian championship hosted by the Assiniboia Curling Club (ACC).
“It has been a quick start and we have hit the ground running! I crave a fast-paced work environment to thrive so it has been great thus far. Working with a very large committee and a couple of other boards, it is a lot to learn, and fast. I am thankful to know a lot of people in the community and appreciate the help they willingly provide. I think 2025 (Assiniboia Curling Rink’s 90th year) will be a year for the books.”
That’s not all, as the new ACC manager says she has a few new ideas up her sleeve to keep the game of curling alive for all ages.
“I enjoy event planning and coming up with new and unique ideas. I am not prepared to share any ideas at this time, but I do encourage people (curlers or not) to keep up to date with what is happening at the Assiniboia Curling Rink.”
The club has a strong social media presence.
Ferraton says Bill Lothian has been assisting her with learning this new role and she appreciates the knowledge he has brought to the table and the important people he has introduced her to, ensuring the transition will be smooth and seamless.
“The Curling Rink, Upper, and Lower Lounge are beautiful spaces that can be booked for a very great price with use of the curling ice or just the lounge(s) with the option of a kitchen. I encourage all to look at these as options for family gatherings, birthday parties, work/social events, funeral luncheons, Christmas parties, etc. For more information and availability, please contact myself (Morgan Ferraton) at 306-690-9518.”
Community curling clubs benefit from a manager as not only do they provide leadership and day-to-day operations, they create a more organized, financially stable and welcoming environment for both curling club members and enthusiasts. These individuals help free up volunteer time by handling administrative tasks and other duties otherwise fulfilled by club executives and volunteers.
